Point-of-sale software provider MICROS and hardware manufacturer
payleven have announced the launch of a new cloud-based point of sale
solution, which they claim will allow start-ups to begin taking credit
and debit card payments via mobile almost instantly.
The
offering will allow start-ups to begin taking payments through their
point-of-sale device immediately after registering on MICROS’s Kachng
website – which payleven claims eliminates the need for specialist setup
staff.
The system will work over 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi mobile
connections and will be offered on a mixed subscription and pay-as-you
go basis, with users charged from £49 per month for the MICROS service
as well as a 2.75% levy on each payment taken. The card reader device
itself costs £89 + VAT.
Payleven claims its offering is fully
scalable from the smallest to the largest businesses, with options to
manage multiple card readers, tills and branches.
